Our History

The Jubilee Centre stands on ground that has been home to a church for almost 100 years.

It has been the base for Jubilee Church since it joined with the Belmont Mission after their leaders invited Jubilee to take over the work on the old mission site.

Jubilee Church was founded by Jim and Sylvia Holl and has met under various names and in a range of locations in the Bromley Common area since the 1970s. Now retired, Jim and Syliva are no longer involved in the day-to-day leadership of the church. However, both continue to play an active role in church life.

Belmont Mission started as a boys club in Bromley Common, and was founded in the 1920s by a young man called Kiff Balfour. The boys club developed into a church and was based in Southlands Road for almost 70 years.

Since coming together, we have lived through many exciting changes, including saying farewell to the old mission building which was in state of disrepair, and the opening of the new Jubilee Centre in October 2004. We have seen God do some amazing things in ways we could scarcely have imagined before. Jubilee Church has continued to develop and grow into the vibrant Christian community it is today.

Our Finances

As a charity, Jubilee Church relies on donations from its members and others who support our work. Church members are encouraged to commit to give what they can on a regular basis. Our treasurer, keeps our trustees and leaders informed about our financial status.

The funds we raise through donations are used to cover necessities, such as running and maintaining the Jubilee Centre, which is the main hub of our activities and we also employ part-time our church leader, an operations manager, a children and families worker and a youthworker. We believe we are called by Jesus to give generously and the remainder of our funds are used to support a number of projects and activities in our local community, the UK and overseas. You can find out more about these elsewhere on our website.

If you would like to make a donation to support the work of Jubilee Church, please contact us directly via the Treasurer, Jubilee Church, 157 Southlands Road, Bromley, BR2 9QZ.

Our Connections

Relationships are important to us, and that includes links with other organisations that we are part of or choose to support. Here are some of the key connections we have, locally and nationally.

Churches Together in Bromley Common

We have developed good links with other churches in and around the local area and are part of Churches Together in Bromley Common. This involves regular meetings throughout the year where leaders of the churches share together and pray for our local community. We also hold joint services every now and again, where members of all churches meet together in one place to worship God.

Transform Bromley Borough

Jubilee Church have a growing friendship and relationship with a number of churches across Bromley who believe that God’s favour is upon those who "dwell together in unity". We come from different backgrounds, we hold a variety of views and opinions and often have different styles of doing church but, we share a common vision of wanting to see the love, grace & power of Jesus shared and released with the whole community across the whole of the borough of Bromley. We seek to connect on the basis of friendship and shared lives and, no matter how good or effective we may be as individual churches, we believe that we can do more together to proclaim and demonstrate the good news of Jesus than we can on our own, so we choose to be together.

Spinnaker

Spinnaker is a charity that creates opportunities for children to engage with Christianity. It operates in over 70 schools in a number of London Boroughs, including Bromley.

Spinnaker has regular contact with over 10,000 children. Jubilee Church provides some financial support to Spinnaker and is directly involved in its work through members of our church.

International links

Over the years, Jubilee Church has developed relationships with a number of churches and Christian organisations overseas. This includes South Africa, Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia.

We provide support financially and, where possible, on a practical level through visits to teach or help with projects. We also support one another spiritually through prayer. Here are just some our international links:
